I personally liked Symphogear thanks to the great concept, even though the story writting and characters are subpar. Still, I will look forward to any new magical girl as long as it shares some Madoka Magica traits and this one looks very promising and once it starts, it'll stay that way.

PS : Before seeing this announcement, I saw some characters that looks like these and appeared in a cancelled project from last year called Gekkou no Messiah -Blood of Fortune- and it looks like it might be it.

Really interesting concept of Symphogear was ruined by the bad script. They could make good sci-fi macho-shounen story like Nanoha if they'd leave the dark tones in the story but they turned it in the generic shounen in the end

Remember when people were talking about how some new shows are going to come that will try to be like Madoka Magica,just like it happened with Evangelion?Gentleman I believe this is that show.

My first impression from seeing the pictures in the OP was actually Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi, from seeing the color palette and imagery. I wouldn't be surprised if this was trying to cash in Madoka Magica's success, though.

I really don't like the art style of this anime, with all the lanky monkey bodies. It's jarring and un-moe.

Inaho is a legit badass, and I wish I was like him.
Slaine is the most complex, well-written character ever.
Princess Asseylum is a beautiful, tragic character whose kind intentions warm my scarred heart.

Aldnoah.Zero has loveable characters, amazingly varied and unpredictable fights, and brilliant foreshadowing.
It is the best mecha ever made, and one of the best anime period.

watching the pv it reminds me of nippon ichi games that I played. The card show with a bit bizarre setting might reminds the others of madoka but I didn't get that impression on it. It reminds me of a typical mahou shoujo setting but has dark undertones which was madoka is known for but really. Saying that its just riding the fame of madoka isn't really nice since we are having mahou shoujo shows that had dark undertones since years 90's

that's true. Since mahou shoujo type of shows tends to be for kids. But saying that a show that has dark undertones with a mahou shoujo theme is like a copy of madoka is being unfair to the creators of that show. It just happen that Madoka turned famous. If it didn't, then it wouldn't be used as a measuring stick.

Just look at the goddamn art style ,music choices and tone of trailer.That is what primarily made me think of Madoka Magica and yes there have been some mahou shojo anime that were dark,but PMMM had a unique aesthetic that separated it from others.We still dont know what this show is about,but from what we can see aesthetically it looks a lot like PMMM.

Not at all. The designs are a lot more cartoonish than that, and because of this it feels to me like it's going to lack the oppressive atmosphere Madoka had.
Please stop trying to turn Madoka into the next Evangelion.

Next Madoka wannabe. Character designs and art look awful. Also, the voice acting sounds like nails on a chalk board. All we need is an uninspired team at A-1 propped up by Aniplex here and we will get a good trainwreck in action.
